You are really not supposed to process anything after mp3, period -- it's only designed as a final delivery format. But that's not what I thought we were talking about. When the original poster (Brian?) said he wanted to put the files on CD, I thought he meant CD-Audio, not CD-ROM with mp3 files. Changing volume on decoded MP3 is a hack, but recoding them is a No-No (unless you just don't care, or are listening on the apron at the Air Nat'l Guard.) To be clear, if the question was how to change the volume of an encoded file, no -- there's no way to do that. -- "To misattribute a quote is unforgivable." --Anonymous
